I personally believe the Liforme Yoga Mat is the best yoga mat currently available. Though slightly thinner and lighter than its “Everyday Practice Mat” competitors, it still manages to be incredibly durable and supportive enough for knees and other bony joints. It feels great on the skin, stays grippy without clinging in wet or dry conditions and comes with helpful alignment markers to keep you balanced and strong.
As I said above, I have only been impressed by the B Mat. The B Mat Everyday is constructed with 100% rubber (both natural and synthetic), without using harsh chemicals, finishes or sealants, and feels good under my skin. The B Mat Everyday also provides decent padding, even though it's only 4mm thick and 4.1 lbs (if you are looking for more padding, get the 2mm-thicker B Mat Strong reviewed above). Like it’s thicker cousin, this mat feels durable, is surprisingly light and has incredible grip in both wet and dry conditions.
About the channel: Dana Falsetti, the women behind Yoga Trees, came to yoga after years of struggling to love her body — and her practice helped her finally find inner peace. Her channel is mostly her quick Instagram tutorials, which are super helpful. You can also find her longer classes at Cody (see below). Falsetti has been featured in many online and print publications, including Shape, Mind Body Green, and more.
A good yoga mat should walk the line between being squishy enough to take some of the pressure off your joints, while being dense enough to offer a stable foundation. Too-soft mats may be comfortable, but they’re difficult to hold a pose on — and while you can stand on a too-firm mat forever, you may end up hurting your joints. Beginners, pregnant yogis, and people with sensitive joints should consider thicker mats, which offer more support. Yogis who commute or travel a lot may prefer thinner mats that are easier to roll up and carry.
When searching for free yoga resources, the video-sharing behemoth YouTube is a good place to start. But type “yoga” into YouTube’s search bar, and you get back more than eight million results. Many of these are one-off videos rather than easy-to-follow programs for beginners. There are, however, two free yoga programs that are worth checking out: Yoga for Dummies and Dr. Melissa West’s channel.
Stressed out. Tense. Crazed. If any of these words describe you, this routine’s a godsend. You’ll gently sway and flow your way from forward folds to low lunges to splits (only if you’re up for them)—all in just 30 minutes. With breezy and serene direction, Tara Stiles gives more advanced options for those who want them, but she’s really all about finding what works best for your body in that moment. (via CosmoBody)

Yoga mat towels can be useful for people who find themselves slipping on their mats, typically in Bikram or “hot yoga” classes. If you invest in a quality, non-stick yoga mat, you shouldn’t find yourself slipping — even in the sweatiest conditions. That said, towels can also be a nice addition for wiping sweat off your face and body during class, too.

Start in warrior 2 pose: left foot is back and left leg is straight. Right knee is bent at a 90-degree angle directly over the ankle, and right toes are pointing forward. Chest and hips are squared to the left side. Your left arm is reaching back and your right arm is reaching forward, so that they are parallel to the mat in a “T” position with palms facing down.

Hatha yoga is the root of the physical yoga practice and most modern-day styles. Hatha yoga is not an exercise but rather the practice of physical postures, or asanas, which drive physical energy. Get familiar with yoga or revisit the foundations with this collection of Hatha yoga videos. Open your body, center your mind, and ground yourself in the fundamentals and watch your practice bloom. Hatha can be translated in two ways. One as "willful" or "forceful," the second as "sun" and "moon." In these translations, we see the representation of the yoga of activity and the yoga of balance. In our Hatha yoga online collection, you'll discover practices designed to bring attention to your breath, manipulate the flow of energy, and align your body and mind. In the physical realm, Hatha yoga uses conscious movement to balance strength and flexibility. Emotionally, this practice calms our nervous system and cleanses our minds of stress and tension to leave you with a feeling of well-being. In this series of Hatha yoga videos, you'll discover a powerful tool for self-transformation. Enhance the way you think, feel, and experience life by learning to be more present in each unfolding moment. Each posture will elevate your level of consciousness while increasing your strength and flexibility. Open your spine and experience a renewed sense of vitality as energy channels flow through you, unrestricted. Explore our Hatha yoga online videos to calm your mind and form a deeper connection with your body.

When I decided to film these gentle yoga videos, I knew that I needed to find a special teacher. I wanted to find someone who really understood our needs. I wanted to find a person with the charisma and experience to keep us motivated… someone who lives and breathes yoga every day. And, I wanted to find a kind and genuine person who you would want to spend time with every day.

What to Look for in Yoga Clothes: In the last decade yoga has taken over, and with it a large number of clothing and activewear brands who have found their niche in outfitting yogis of all different styles, shapes, and sizes. This is the reason we have decided to curate the best of those yoga apparel brands on one website. Now you can purchase your favorite strappy Onzie bras in that cool new print and those new Teeki Hot Pants you've had your eye on, all in one place. Both yoga apparel brands have some of the best yoga pants you will ever put on! From the Vinyasa addict to the slow and steady Hatha practitioner, our yoga clothing and activewear brands will take you through your practice with fashion and function designed specifically for your style of practice. We take our yoga clothing and activewear seriously and don't carry brands that we wouldn't stand behind. Yogis who prefer more yang in their practice will find that supplex fabrics wick sweat away and stay in place as they flow throughout their practice. Hot Yogis who turn up the tapas will want ultra breathable fabrics that dry quickly like Recycled PET and Lyrca.
